Geovany Soto lost 40 pounds during the offseason - and spent the offseason eating chicken and fish and chasing his kid instead of engaging in, um, other things, according to Paul Sullivan:
Soto was listed at 230 pounds last year, but was at least 10 pounds heavier. He slumped badly after his Rookie of the Year season, hitting .218 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI. He knows that all eyes are on him in 2010, since the Cubs didn't make many major moves, counting on comebacks from him and Alfonso Soriano to revive the lineup.
"The weight is really not going to be an issue," he said. "I could be 210 pounds now and 205 in two days."
The Cubs are ecstatic that Soto proved he's committed to being as good as he could be, putting his career goals ahead of other leisurely pursuits. The 2009 season was embarrassing for Soto, and he'd like to put it all behind him now.
"Everybody has good years, everybody can have a bad year," he said. "It's over with. It's done. Whatever is done is done. We have a new year here, and let's move forward."
Sullivan must really like Soto if he characterizes failing a drug test for smoking weed as "leisurely pursuits" and "embarrassing." That's quite a break he gives him by not reminding the casual fan what those leisurely pursuits were.
